another silk hat...

the natural creme silk is a favorite of mine. the very first hat i knitted for maya before she was born was in natural silk - the hat she wore only moments after her birth. i've always had silk hats for her on hand. she was quite a bald baby and living in texas with all of the air-conditioned locations around in the spring and summer...i wanted to keep her head warm and protected. but not too warm. silk is just perfect.
